PAAC brings nature’s treasure, i.e., Raw Cashew Nuts (RCN), to your table. These are grown organically and processed in state-of-the-art plants. Our cashew nuts are widely popular due to their taste, quality, and nutritional value.
Our current network allows us to procure raw cashews directly from the source in countries such as Mali, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, and Benin.
